Osteoporosis & Spinal Fractures: What Are My Treatment Options?
Ғылым және технология
Osteoporosis is a common condition that develops when bone mass decreases, either as we age or due to injury. When our bones are weakened, there is an increased risk of fractures occurring. A spinal fracture can be a painful and debilitating injury that can affect your quality of life. However, there are treatment options available to ease the pain and improve your quality of life.
In this virtual seminar, please join our very own Dr. Anuj Daftari, a Board Certified and Fellowship Trained physician specializing in Interventional Spine and Pain Management, to learn the treatment options for spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis.

I had Kyphoplasty three days ago -- thank you for the explanation -- it's a miracle procedure.
I found this a very useful video as I just was diagnosed with a T12 wedge fracture and the subjects you discussed were exactly those my doctor discussed with me eg DEXA scan, physio, and kyphoplasty. One of the things you clarified for me was my decrease in hunger and why my abdomen suddenly was distended. I noticed these two issues but didnt realise they were relatèd to the fracture. It occurred to me that the life expectancy charts you showed about survival rates over time were somewhat distorted by the fact that many patients in those surveys were in their late 70s or 80s which themselves means their long term survival rates were to some level age related though I'm not questioning the relative advantages of certain procedures. Thank you for the clarity of your explanations
